Biometric recognition, or simply biometrics, refers to the use of distinctive anatomical and/or
behavioral characteristics or identifiers (eg, fingerprints, face, iris, voice, and hand geometry) …

Template representativeness is a fundamental problem in a biometric recognition system.
The performance of the system degrades if the enrolled templates are un-representative of …

Palmprint is a unique and reliable biometric characteristic with high usability. With the
increasing demand of highly accurate and robust palmprint authentication system …

This paper investigates a new approach for personal authentication using fingerback
surface imaging. The texture pattern produced by the finger knuckle bending is highly …

In many real-world applications, unimodal biometric systems often face significant limitations
due to sensitivity to noise, intraclass variability, data quality, nonuniversality, and other …

Some biometric systems perform well, and others perform poorly. This chapter examines in
detail the methods for establishing and reporting system accuracy. The manner in which a …

Today's top high performance computing systems run applications with hundreds of
thousands of processes, contain hundreds of storage nodes, and must meet massive I/O …

This paper investigates a new automated personal authentication technique using finger-
knuckle-print (FKP) imaging. First, a specific data acquisition device is developed to capture …

The concept of multimodal biometrics is gaining importance to realise reliable, accurate and
robust authentication systems. In multimodal biometrics, information fusion can be done at …

A new approach for keystroke-based authentication when using a cellular phone keypad as
input device is presented. In the proposed method, users are authenticated using keystroke …
